The Deutsche Bank and the Nazi Economic War Against the Jews: The Expropriation of Jewish-Owned Property Hardcover - 2001

by Harold James

Deutsche Bank played a major role in the expropriation of Jewish-owned enterprises during the Nazi era. Drawing on new source material, James examines the policies that led to the genocide of European Jews and how economic institutions added to the duplicity. Illustrations.


Summary

The Deutsche Bank, Germany's largest financial institution, played an important role in the expropriation of Jewish-owned enterprises during the Nazi dictatorship, both in the existing territories of Germany, and in the area seized by the German army during World War II. In this book Harold James uses new and previously unavailable materials, many from the bank's own archives, to examine policies which led to the eventual genocide of European Jews. How far did the realization of the vicious and destructive Nazi ideology depend on the acquiescence, the complicity, and the cupidity of existing economic institutions, and individuals? In response to the traditional view that business co-operation with the Nazi regime was motivated by profit, this book closely examines the behaviour of the bank and its individuals to suggest other motivations. No comparable study exists of a single company's involvement in the economic persecution of the Jews in Nazi Germany.

First line

Recently there has been a remarkable increase in interest in the business history of Germany in the Nazi era, and especially in the economic history of the Holocaust - the analysis of the economics behind discriminatory measures that prepared the way for the mass murder of Jews and other racially or biologically defined groups who lived in Germany or in the areas conquered by German soldiers.
